Got my truck and drove to meet with family about 100 miles away. While I only put 300 miles on the stock set-up, it does not appear the ride and handling has suffered after the level kit. Also added 285/65x20 BFG KO2 to fill the wheel wells. Really happy with the result. Will post pictures ASAP.

Maybe you should talk to the manufacturers then.

"This system includes a new upper strut mount as well as pre-load spacers. The use of a pre-load spacer increases performance in cornering as well as offsets the increase weight of larger tires to maintain a quality ride."

How does that truck feel with the 3:55 and the bigger tires, does is feel sluggish at all?

A 2 in and 3 in ProComp leveling kit is mentioned in this thread. I was under the impression ProComp only had the 3 in level kit for 2015.

Default Pictures as Promised

Finally got home and took the promised pictures. I also got some clarification on the ProComp 62206 leveling kit. Long story short, it's a (2) piece kit with a total of 2.75" of lift. On my truck, that raises the front 1/2" higher than the rear. Not sure if you can see in my pictures (not a very good photographer), but it's higher for sure. I measured both from the ground to bottom of fender and from top of tires to bottom of fender (both in center location).

So for me, I'll be going back to dealer for a 2.25" leveling kit, so it's truly level. Also since my last post, I added 285/65 x 20 BFG KO2, Retrax cover, Line X & Bed Rug in bed, WheaterTech floor liners, V1. All that's left to do is tint the front windows and add a catch can set-up and I'll be done.......for a while anyway!

Incidentally, I drove the truck like it sits for about 1,000 miles this week and noticed no detrimental handling or road noise with these tires. Highly recommended for those of you looking to fill the wheel wells for some nice looking rubber.

The 2" one piece block ReadyLift has for 09-14 also works on the 2015.

I just installed a readylift leveling kit on my 15 yesterday. Had a shop install it at least, but I noticed that the ride isn't as smooth anymore. Very jerky going over bumps unlike stock. There wasn't enough time to get it aligned yesterday so I'm hoping after i get it aligned today things will start riding smoother.
